… i meant Texas State Guard Facebook page.
Not too much attention. They will probably avoid this issue like the plague.
At this point, he can tuck tail and run. Get away with what he has done. While can’t erase the internet, he is going vanish soon enough.
I bet he probably didn’t even contact Jonn.
CAP DOES NOT use/operate T-37’s, T-38’s, or C-130’s, they primarily use single engine prop aircraft either owned by the corporation or owners will use their own aircraft and get reimbursed for fuel. CAP often get’s orientation rides in transports but it’s rare, and I mean really rare to get a flight in an ejection seat aircraft. I did a ton of cool things in CAP to include going overseas but was never lucky enough to get a flight in anything except some transport’s like C-123, C-130, and a couple of Huey rides.
Dang. Have a sick relative, miss all the fun.
I rode next to the door in a Blackhawk once. Can I now say I was a “military door gunner”?
@103 Otto When I was in the CAP, many decades ago, the aircraft we used were all owned by Senior Members. There were a lot of old tail draggers even. They used them for flight lessons for the cadets, search operations for downed aircraft and of course their own use. The only big rides I ever got were on USAF C-123s and C-130s to/from Summer Encampments. Those were really big things to a young fella like me. Gave me a love of flying and the Air Force.
I still say Dennis Chevalier is no way, no how C-130 qualified and I imagine never even sat in either pilot’s seat of one flying.
#102 C2Show; he’s threatening to sue us up in the Facebook comments under the main post.
Oh, tell him to sue me, too.
Oh, he can add me, too. I was a real CAP member in the 1970s, we had the bought badge commandos back then, too. This guy is a tool and poser who, like has been said repeatedly, is both sullying the good name of CAP and has no business within a hundred miles of any cadet.
Hello, Dennis, you tick turd wannabe. How a trip through the Pineywoods so my fellow veterans and I can show you the turd you really are by presenting a mirror in front of your lying poser face before we help fix it to standard, “standardly” beaten to a pulp, you moosetwit.
Read the comments at this link….he claims he flew th3 C130H in Iraq. A couple comments below that one he makes a comment that doesn’t make much sense….translation services appreciated in advance.https://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/7_days/popular/6070/Obama_To_Congress_Allow_China_To_Buy_C_130#4806
GDContractor, his comments don’t make any sense, because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That’s all.
ExPH2- yes, however there have been some pretty good translations. I am just offering the hanging curveball over the plate, so to speak.
The guy put “Lt Col USAF Retired” in his signature block. It doesn’t really matter if he claims that there were also a few more characters of word salad afterwards. If you use the quoted language, and you’ve never actually been in the Air Force, you’re being misleading; and most likely, in my opinion, deliberately so. Most people are going to read that and, word salad or not, will conclude that he served in the Air Force, and retired as an O-5.
I don’t want you guys to take this the wrong way, but this slubabed isn’t attractive enough to be a USAF or ANG pilot of anything other than a barstool during Happy Hour.
@110 GDContractor thanks. I don’t think he could clean up a three year old Flightaware blog but just in case…here is his comment.

“DOn’t sell them ANYTHING; if they are so damn set on world domination let them try it on thier own.
we will kick there ass back to the stone-age! And we will do it with the C130H Compass Call (I flew them in Iraq, please look them up before commenting on my statement)”
Dennis…we call them…coffin nails.
@111 Ex forgive me if I am stating the obvious that you already know.
The Flightaware blog was discussing the sale of C130s to China and Dennis the Menace Chevalier put his two cents worth of, how shall I say it….FUCKING LIES…into the conversation.
He NEVER flew a C130, not in Iraq, not in America or anywhere. The only thing he would do around a Herc is either one, walk into the prop or two, trip over the load ramp and bust his ass!
Oh for heavens sake guys….a) If you want to know more about the Texas State Guard (TXSG-not TSG) just go to the Texas Adjutant General’s web site and follow the links. Or click on Texas State Guard on FB! This is a tight organization with strict requirement for enlisted and officer ranks. To join the TXSG you must provide a certified copy of your DD214 and then wait for verification…you must sign documents to provide this access. Officers must complete the CGSC for promotion to ranks above 04. This is generally done by correspondence. The TXSG has its own HQ at Camp Mabry..the main operation for the Texas Air and Army Guard. I don’t know who the fellow in discussion is but generally speaking enlisted can be brought in one rank above that they held in Federal service. So I would guess this fellow is a civilian who enlisted, went through basic, and is now an E4. Had he actually been an AF LTC (Ltc) then he would most likely have been commissioned an 05 in the TXSG. His current rank thus seems to belie any Commissioned Federal Service. If you check the leadership of the TXSG you will find most of them are combat veterans with either Federal or NG service. Seems to me yall have wasted a lot of time on something that does not merit so much.
Hey hat tip to Arby for the forum… I was just bored enough to trip over the old post.
The post that requires translation is below that one in which he says: “The l-100 cannot be made to open the rear door during flight nor can they be made to support fire control supression system (artiliery) with stock or slightly modified gear.” Not sure WTF he thinks an I-100 is. An IL-114-100 maybe? And that is the most fucked up spelling of artillery I have ever seen, granted he is posing as an AF officer, so maybe that is part of his cover.
As far as him flying C-130’s in Iraq, I guess I can legitimately claim that I flew helicopters in Afghanistan. No shit, there I was at Sharana flying a chopper and some dumbass opened the shop door and the slightest breeze played havoc with my RC Helicopter I had just ordered off the internet and almost slammed it into the wall. Luckily, I am one hot shit stick and I lived to fly many more secret missions…. none of which I can tell you about.
Fuck him.
OK, now I’m getting pissed. Originally, I put this guy down in the sins of omission category, those that leave things out and hoping the uninformed will expand their respect because they don’t exactly understand the military. Now, he’s in the sins of commission category. Multiple times he said LtCol Ret. and now claims “Aux” was left off.
Bullshit.
The find where he claims he was flying EC-130H’s put me over the top. He’s crossed the line and now has to put up or shut up since we know he is monitoring this thread.
Mr. Chevalier: produce proof you have served in the Air Force, graduated a flight program, or any documents to show you served. These can be a DD-214, commission, orders, TDY vouchers, WHATEVER.
If not, you have fraudulently posted online and this information may be brought to the attention of appropriate authorities.
Otto – just to clarify, in his own words, he flew the C130H Compass Call… not the EC-130H Compass Call. That’s how badass he is…. guys like him not the “E” is silent.
@GD C. Now that’s funny! He also can’t put the big L in L-100
This is one of the usual poser excuses: “I never said I was in the (fill in the blank); my (fill in the blank) was chopped off / misunderstood / taken out of context / disappeared after my dog ate it, etc. etc. etc.”
I’m an actual retired O-5; had to work hard to make all my ranks, and this POS really pisses me off…
@114 Ex PH2, in addition to his happy hour bar stool piloting, he looks like has done some serious piloting next to the buffet bars at the all you could eat buffet. 😀
At least he wins the James Carville look alike contest.
Umm… There are only 14 of these airframes in the USAF inventory. And they are all active duty units. Where exactly was he stationed in order to fly them?
http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/104550/ec-130h-compass-call.aspx
Seadog – that information is sealed and classified and top secret and shit. He could tell you, but then he’d have to eat you.
@117 Joe,
Nobody is questioning that he is an E-4 in the Texas State Guard. The son of a bitch claims to be a retired Air Force Lt Colonel. All the other claims of piloting aircraft and such are just icing on the cake.
@126, GDC… I know where they’re at. And where they’ve been.
That’s why I asked. Lol.
I’m betting Lt Col (the proper way to abbreviate the rank in the USAF) Fuzznuts doesn’t.
@117 Joe,
You also said: “To join the TXSG you must provide a certified copy of your DD214 and then wait for verification…you must sign documents to provide this access.”
So, exactly what Military service was he in in order to get a DD214?, Apparently it wasn’t the Air Force.
Maybe I am missing it, but he has been trying to say that his LT COL signature was supposed to be from CAP, and he has only said he “flew Military type aircraft for 18 years”
The way I interpret this is he NEVER served in the actual military, So how did he get into the Texas State Guard if they require a DD214?
All he has to do is scan his pilot’s license and forward the scan to Jonn by e-mail, if he wants to prove that he’s a pilot of anything other than a flight simulator program on YouTube. And we ALL know how much experience you get with those things, right?

I couldn’t find any information on this turd holding any airmans certificate with the FAA.
@131,
Thanks, apparentlly 117 had their info wrong. He sounds like a sock puppet anyway,
Wow,
The photo of him in the F-4 simulator explains it all. He’s intently staring at the cockpit gauges and little lever thingies. All the while thinking WTF, my Ford Pinto didn’t have this many warning lights. But it did have a needle in the gas gauge. “I did sleep in the Holiday Inn last night…”
The other F-4 pilot “focused” stare of his that comes to mind… He is sitting behind “Snoopy” on the dog house while Snoopy is scanning the skies for the “Red Baron”.
Hey Dennis Chevalier, SUE ME too, and if you get anything, I’ll split it with you (Mighty liberal of me, ain’t it?)! I love the pic of you wearing the ACU’s with your arms crossed, that, the frown and fake “Killer’s gaze” all combine nicely to scream the word POSER!!! What’s next, are ya gonna tell us you were a SEAL as well?
@117….uh, most of the leadership in the TXSG are in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM “Combat Veterans”. Some of them may have been deployed, but very few are actual Combat vets (just going to Ira. Why? Because anyone who has any respect for their actual federal military service spends five minutes around TXSG members and wants to run far away and pretend they never signed up.

Something about that “simulator” just doesn’t seem right. Can’t put my finger on it, and I don’t have time to dig into it more today, but it looks more like one of those cockpit sections you see at air shows, where you can sit in it and have your picture taken…nothing functional in it.
In that photo, ‘nothing functional’ includes HIM.
@138
While I think he’s a liar, I will say that simulator looks about like the simulators I’ve seen for the F-4. Having said that, I’ve sat in, and flown, simulators for all sorts of aircraft. I used to want to fly F-14s. When we stopped flying them, I lost interest in the Navy.
The thing that leads me to believe it is the panel facing away from the sim cockpit and toward whoever would be running and/or grading the sim.
I’m not king of the pilots or simulations by any means, but I’ve seen that on a fair few older simulators.
But, to reiterate, him sitting in the simulator doesn’t make him an F-4 pilot. If it does, I can fly an F-16, F-15, and F/A-18. And an A-10.
@136/137 – I don’t check or know the creds of all the TXSG leadership, esp. the Army or Air side, but I can speak for my particular unit in TMAR, and in our case, our leadership are combat vets of several Fed services. You’ll find that more often in TMAR. I don’t know that it should matter so much, given our usual mission profile(s), but it does seem to matter to some folks.
TR – I am trying to hit up some contacts in Mr. Chevalier’s area to see what his deal is…
In case anyone asks, this guy is not me.
TSO – CPL Chevalier seems to have gone silent after you posed him those two questions on Facebook. Could it be that he has no answer?
Maggot.
Queef.
@142–he has answers. But he doesn’t like them. And I guess he’s realizing that people here don’t respond well to threats and bullying.
Jackass of all trades. Master of None.
Compass Call. That’s a hoot. I worked a similar/peripheral program when I was an engineer at Lockheed Martin. Nothing throws fear into the heart of the enemy like a cargo plane covered in antennas.
Anyone see this note on his facebook page?
https://www.facebook.com/notes/dennis-chevalier/just-for-the-record/292312074241405
Worth a laugh.
He left out EC-130H pilots who flew in Iraq. I wonder why?
Just adding on a bit about the CAP Aircraft he claims to have flown. The USAF turned over a bunch of T-34, L-19 (0-1), and L-20 aircraft to the CAP in the mid to late 1960’s. By the early 1990’s most if not all these had been removed from the CAP inventory and sold. However, up until just recently several military aero clubs still operated ( or have) T-41A, Cessna 172 with a 145 hp engine, T-41C, which is a Cessna 172 with a 205 hp engine and fixed pitch prop, and T-34B’s obtained from the Navy.
CAP does not operate any turbine aircraft or helicopters.
